The Maker

Shin Megami Tensei and Persona belong to ATLUS. We own nothing, and have simply used their data to create a world of our own. They are the true geniuses behind the scenes.

It was a chilly late night. It was perfect for killing something that shouldn't exist in the real world. But as Genji would see it, this night would be a good night to take down the Shadow that was in the Jackpot Casino. According to the Velvet Room Attendants, the Shadow was relatively weak. Maybe Genji could take it down himself, but this wasn't a place for him to train. This was a place for others to train.

He arrived at the Jackpot Casino first. He needed to do this as soon as possible, because this weak Shadow could become deadly soon. Genji would check his bag. It contained all of the items he previously had and those that he bought from the Velvet Room earlier in the week.

Preparations were not truly the problem. He was a little nervous. He could do stuff himself to make sure that he would die, but the others? They were weaker than he was, Mio didn't even use her Persona yet! He didn't know if they were ready, but he had to have his faith in them. Of course, this still didn't stop the fact that they could die from this. Limbo now wasn't their responsibility alone. Now they had to deal with the real world as well. Genji could just feel the weight of responsibility grow heavier on his back.

Since he was all packed up himself, he would try to scout out the perimeter of the building. He could feel the Shadow's presence within the Casino. He wouldn't have any trouble entering the deadzone and fighting the Shadow right now. Mio and Gabishi wouldn't have any problems coming in either. In the end, Genji realized that there really wasn't much of a point to scouting the area. There wasn't much to scout. It was the casino. That was really it. It just had a Shadow inside of it that would feed from the psyches of those around and inside of it. Okay... Maybe that's a big deal, but to a non-User, they wouldn't even feel anything.

Now that Genji was ready, he would sit down on a bench near the casino. The night was chilly, like normal, but not as bad as it can get. He would pull out his phone and slide the unlock release with his fingertips. He would check to see if his Message App had any notifications of people texting him. He would recall the message sent earlier in the day by him. He would hope that someone responded. The message would read like this.

>>Hey you guys, don't you love group messaging nowadays? Anyway, today is the day. We're going to take down this Shadow tonight around 21:00, (9 PM) so I hope you both are ready. The Attendants told us that this Shadow would be weak, so it would be good for us to get in there as soon as possible. I'll be around the casino, maybe on a bench or something. I don't know the area too well, but I'm sure you'll be able to find me. When you get there, we need to talk strategy, we can't all just blindly run into this. I'm sure we'll be able to do this, let's just make sure that we stop the Shadow from harming anyone else. Can't wait to see you guys. >>

Genji would continue to sit on the bench, thinking of strategies in his head. He would occasionally think about his Persona and pat his bag full of items to pass the time.

A normal cold night in Shibakuzoi. The most important part of the Uitewa region. Gabishi was walking down the streets with a cigarette in his mouth and a headset on his head. He was listening to some loud some music. He always do that when he have a big fight. He always get pumped when he listened to that kind of music. He took his phone out and opened it. He was reading a Message that Genji sent to him earlier. He was new to this Persona, Valvet Room, Shadow things, and now a Shadow was in the real world. He was still confused about it. He slowly released the smoke that was inside his lungs. He was keeping a serious face the all time until he reached the front of the Casino. It seems that he was still mad about the fight against Shadow Mio. In that fight he was totally weak, and almost killed himself.

He quickly scanned the area looking for his sempai. Somehow he felt something strange around that area. Like a strange aura. The problem is that Gabishi wasn't sure was it is. After some times Gabishi finally found Genji sitting on a bench near the Casino. Gabishi decided to go meet him, he lowered his headset and sit right beside Genji. He turned his head and just simply said Yo, Sempai....

It was late at night around 20:00, (8:30PM) and Mio was still in her dorm room, sitting down beside her bed, with her back against the rim. Her head laid back onto the soft blankets and held a pillow against her chest, pressed by her arms tightly, thinking about this "Shadow hunt" they were going to take care of this night. After being confident and wanting to go, now that the action is near she started to have second thoughts about going, the risk was great and death waiting across the street with his arms open. She let out a large sigh as the clock made a large clicking sound in the silent room, showing that a minute has gone by. "I guess I better go. All would have been a waste for them if I don't." She said to herself, as she got to her feet and tossed her pillow onto her bed. She grabbed a small side bag that was clipped to the right side of her belt, able to hold small objects and keep her hands free. Walking to the door, she put on her shoes and started to her head down to the street corner where a bus was only a block away from taking her to Shibakuzoi.

Still on the bus Mio felt her bag vibrating loudly and quickly pulled out her phone holding it with both hands. Opening a message that was sent by Genji Senpai, laughing at his little ice breaker, she covered her mouth to not bother the other passenger's. Surprised to see he was already there, she assumed that he was really into this and really wants to save people from getting injured, and she thought she needed to do the same. Bus comes to a stop two blocks away from the large casino, the night air hit her skin and removed the heat from the buses heater from her in an instant. Rubbing her hands on her arms she slowly turned the corner and saw the entrance to the casino only a few buildings away. Walking down with her arms by her sides, she closely looked at each building as she walked by, some lights were on but it didn't look like anyone was really open. Coming at the corner of the casino building, she looked around for the bench Genji mentioned in his message, and saw what looked like a bench with two humps on it. Squinting her eyes she can now tell them apart and can see that they were actually Genji and Gabishi Senpai. She waved her hand in the air hoping they see her, and started to jog toward them. "Sorry I'm a little late, was kinda having second thoughts. But I'm better now, seeing how you both are here now." She said smiling while scratching the back of her head. "So who are we going to stop this thing? I remember from you guys fighting before that, Gabishi was of a Damage Dealer then Genji was. Sorry for the nerd talk. And I also don't know what Gawain can do, so he is a total mystery for me right now." She said softly.

There was nothing but complete silence in the area. That was strange, considering a Casino was usually bustling with excitement, screams, and over all noise. Though the Persona-Users weren't within the Casino as of yet, it did not hurt to describe what was going on inside. All the power was out, and it was rather dark. The people who were in the Casino appeared to be zombies, as they appeared stiff with a blank expression upon their faces. Some attempted to speak, but all that was heard was a disgruntled moan before staring into blank space. Everyone within the Casino was like this, and it would only get worst the longer the Shadow was present. Not to mention it wouldn't be long before people began to notice the difference, and a true dilemma did start. Keeping the Shadows a secret from the general public was important, as it would not cause panic. Because with panic, the Shadows would have a much easier time preying on humanity, and dragging them over to Limbo where they could devour them quite easily. So much responsibility was falling upon these children, and the Crawling Chaos did nothing but laugh. If he wished, he could have annihilated them on a whim, but he grew to love breaking their spirits even more. They needed to understand they had no purpose in life. They needed to cry, wished for it all to end. After all, they were nothing but guinea pigs.

When the two arrived, Genji felt a small relief form inside of his head. They showed up, after all. Genji knew that he could trust those two. He would stand up once Mio got the and offered her his seat. It would be easier for him to stand and talk to the two. The Casino was eerily quiet, but he didn't have to think long to figure out why. He needed to save the people on the inside. They would return to normal once all of this was okay, Genji would be happier than someone who hit the jackpot.

But right now, they had to talk strategy. Genji knew what his Persona was capable of. He had a strong feeling about Gabishi's, but just like Mio herself, he didn't know what she was capable of. He would try to give her advice on how to figure it out, along with acknowledging her second thoughts.

"Being a User is scary, Kiyomi-san, we all know that. I'm glad you didn't have your second thoughts stop you from coming here. Before we head in, we need to talk about strategy. Since you don't know your capabilities yet, this would be good practice for you. You and Gabishi-san will stand in the front, while I'll be in the back. I won't be removed from the battle, but I won't be doing much. This is your chance to shine, you two. There aren't many of us Users, so it would be good for you two to gain some experience with this battle. Don't worry about being hurt. I have some healing capability, so I'll be able to help you out if anything happens. But if you guys find trouble, I'll be able to come in swinging. That's my plan so far. But what I'm thinking about now is this: Hit them with your elemental moves first, like if you have fire, or something, then keep finding moves that work. This isn't just to get practice, but learn what you are capable of. Kiyomi-san, you'll learn about your skills soon enough. When you're in battle, they just come to you. They did with me, they did with Gabishi-san. Don't worry about forgetting them, they come back into your mind with every battle. But after a while, you'll never forget them. So that's my long winded talk, do you two have any questions?"

Genji tried to make this as easy for them as possible. He couldn't go in with any confusion. This was just as important as anything they have done before. It was time to step it up and get serious about it.

Gabishi was still sitting on the bench while smoking his cigarette. He was trying to focus on the fight that was coming. He waited with Genji until Mio showed up. After some minutes, Genji started to talk about the plan of tonight. Gabishi still can believe that a shadow was wondering in the real life. He still doesn't know much about this things but he was ready to help the others to face them. He took a deep breath before releasing a cloud of smoke away from Mio, since she didn't like it. He stand up and look at the casino, it was the first time that Gabishi saw that place not shining like usual. Yeah, something was off and Gabishi can feel that. Gabishi decided to remain in silent while Genji was explaining about the plan. Gabishi just smirked while hearing at him, he like the plan that Genji have made. Without anything to say Gabishi look at Genji That sounds like a plan….. He walked towards Mio and give a little slow punch to her shoulder Glad you came…. . Gabishi was really happy to go to another fight, since he totally failed against Shadow Mio. Gabishi throw the cigarette down and walk ahead towards the Casino It's show time

Mio watched as Genji excused himself and lifted from his spot on the bench and offered her his seat. She smiled his way, before excusing herself and taking a seat. She watched as he stood before both Gabishi Sempai and herself and acknowledged her strength for actually coming to this little training session, and wanted to get straight into the strategy portion of this little meeting they were going to have. She didn't know how her persona fought and Genji reassured her that she would once she would summon him in battle, having her nod in agreement. He also mentioned that there wasn't alot of "persona-users" which she didn't understand how much was alot but she assumed that there was ten or less then that. And the tactics that they were going to go by was that Genji would stay in the back and with his ability to heal his allies, he would give Mio and Gabishi support while they practiced fighting the shadow. He also said that learning the skills of her persona would come to her, some how. "Alright then. I don't really have any questions for you. I'm more of a person who learns from doing things." She said full of enthusiasm and ready for action. Lifting herself from the bench, with Gabishi walking toward her giving her a soft nudge on her shoulder and telling her that he was glad that she was here. "Glad to be here too." She said happily nudging him on his shoulder back. "Alright! Lets go you guys!" She said toward the both of them, pumping her fist into the air and starts to follow behind Gabishi toward the Casino entrance

Once entering the Casino, the Persona-Users would see nothing but darkness and some feint silhouettes in the shadows. Probably would have been a good idea to bring some source of light for an operation at night, in a powerless Casino. The Jackpot Casino held three stories, and it was safe to assume each floor held a Shadow more powerful than the last. What was originally one, had broken into three to encompass the size of the Casino. The one on the first floor hid within the darkness and immediately became aware of its prey the moment they entered the building. Crawling upon the floor, the creature would come out into the open. Glowing red eyes became far too apparent within the dwelling darkness, and it was easy to tel, for a fact, that it was the Shadow they were searching for. With the darkness of the Casino coating its body, it would fade from view, however would still be present. These three humans were the only ones that were unaffected by its draining, and so they were automatically threats to its existence.

-Initiating PvS Combat Phase-

The Shadow hid in plain sight, however it was invisible to the naked eye. The Persona-Users would need to take a chance to find its current position. There were three areas before them that they could attack, and the enemy was located in one. The question was which. For it to come out of hiding, they would of course need to guess right, or simply attack the entire area. Whatever the case, the Shadow waited..This was simply a lackey, the "boss" of the intruders was located on the top floor.

Slime Shadow:

Currently hiding within three areas. Must choose the correct one to damage and reveal the enemy before it attacks. Choose left, right, or middle. If you have an attack that hits multiple opponents, then you may attack all areas at once.

As Gabishi entered the Casino, he quickly felt the enemies around there even thought he didn't know the exect location of the enemies. A smirk came from Gabishi mouth as he took out his gauntlets. Gebishi put his gauntlets on and look for the enemies. Since it was pitch black he can't see anything, but he only can feel it. Since he felt the enemies in multiple location he decided to test something. If the shadow can appear in the real world, why can't the Persona do the same thing. In front of Gabishi quickly appeared a blue glowing card. Let's get wild Maahes!!! Without hesitation Gabishi quickly punched the card with his fist. The card quickly shredder into little pieces, and from Gabishi's back appeared a massive figure. The red lion made a huge roar inside the casino before look to Gabishi. His eyes glowed and made a second roar before creating fire all around his enemies. If there were multiple enemies, it was much easier to attack them at the same time. After the fire attack, Maahes disrepair and Gabishi took a defensive stance. Your turn..... Gabishi said while he turned his head to Mio.

Mio walks into the casino right behind Gabishi Senpai, as he opened the door. It felt as if she was walking into complete darkness, not being able to see the inside of the casino. Not the floor, not the chairs, nor the tables. And as she walked in something coursed through her chest, like a needle flew right through her, she looked around but could see nothing with her eye's. Her arms shot toward her chest trying to protect herself from that "danger sense". "What was that!" She shouted, knowing that something was hiding in the darkness of the casino and watched as Gabishi walked forward and put on some type of gauntlets onto his fists and summoned a light blue card that appeared before him. Striking it he summoned his persona, the thing that shows his true self, a large red lion appears behind him. Sending multiple fire balls from its mouth toward what she thought were random spots, but he could probably sense the enemy better then she could. After the fire balls hit the targets, the lion disappeared and Gabishi laid his eyes on Mio. "Your turn....." He said toward her and she nodded back. She stepped forward beside Gabishi. "Come out!" She shouted as she shot her arm forward, but nothing happened and she waited for a few seconds before realizing nothing was happening. She looked at her hand and something went through her mind, widening her eye's and a sense of determination and want to protect shot through her body and something just made her body move. "Become my blade and Come forth..Gawain!" She said as her body engulfed in a blue light, shattering the darkness around her, her clothing and hair flowing along the gentle breeze of the wind of power that came before her, a small blue card suddenly appeared above her and slowly dropped. She pulled her leg back and spun, spin kicking it into thousands of shattered pieces and within seconds of bringing her foot down a large man in white armor, a large blue cape appeared behind her with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. His entrance the same as her's, appeared from nowhere in a large flash of blue light, lighting the room slightly around him, before dimming down as his cape slowly fell down to his back.

Grabbing his blades handle his unsheathed it, letting out a large screeching sound as the blade rubbed against the inside and struck it forward pointing into the darkness. Mio suddenly lifted her hand as Gawain raised the blade both above their heads simultaneously as if they've both been practicing for ages. "Let Go! Gawain Smite them with Mahama!" She shouted without a second thought, as if someone has planted the words in her head that very moment, slamming down her hand roughly around and swung her around placing her back toward the enemy. As she commanded Gawain's eye's lit up with a bright white color as he started to swing down his blade down forward toward the direction of the enemies, striking each position with a ray of light in the form of a cross. Gawain knelled down as he placed his blade back into its sheath and disappeared before her. "Lets hope that finishes it." She said in a serious tone, with her eye's slightly closed and looking to the side. Though within a second, from her serious attitude came back her open minded, happy attitude. "Did you see that! That was awesome!" She shouted jumping in place. "Its like I'm in an action anime or something." She said with her hand on her chin and nodding, with her eye's closed and a smile on her face, to herself as if she was a complete genius.

Genji would enter in the building and find that it was pitch black. He used the flashlight on his phone, though it really do as well as he would have hoped for. He would watch the Shadow come in and hide. Apparently this was just a scrub, but it was still a threat. He would watch Mio and Gabishi using their Personas, their skills would hit any enemy in the room, which was a good move for the both of them. Genji would nod his head and smile. They were doing great so far. "Nice job guys, let's keep this going," he would shout to the two of them. He was sure they could do this now.

Though the Shadow survived the burst of flames, it would still be downed because of being hit by its weakness. However, when the hama skill successfully bathed it in its presence, it was destroyed in a flash of light. A successful instant kill was no laughing matter. When the first floor Shadow was destroyed, the power would flicker back on, but the people would still remain in their dazed states. There were two more shadows on the upper levels of the Casino. The Persona-Users had beaten the weakest one of the trio, they still had a long way to go.

Gabishi freeze for a second. He couldn't believe at what he just saw. A first time persona user insta kill her first enemies? That's just wow. Gabishi was just speechless about it, but also happy. He look at Mio and raised a thumb up Nice work. Even thought he was surprised by that, they have to move forward. He felt other enemies on the other floors, and he bet that they were stronger that the one that Mio just killed. Gabishi can make the smirk disappear from his face, since he was still amazed about Mio's powers. He always smirk when his around strong people. To tell the truth he want to fight Mio right now, but he didn't have the time for that and Gabishi didn't like to fight girls. Gabishi look at both Mio and Genji. Well..... next level? Gabishi said as he started to walk to the second floor and since there was light in the first floor it was easy for him.

Able to contain herself again, she stroke her normal quiet posed self, though having trouble containing her happiness, she kept her smile on her face. This is what they have experience through out this time, an extreme power that is open within themselves, by remembering their true selves. Was this power awakened on a whim? A purpose? Or just luck? And why hasn't every person who walked this earth come to obtain it as well. These are the thoughts that coursed this very second through her head. Though as well as this power was great, how great can it become? Will it grow as she learns of its true nature....and what is it's true nature. For now Mio believed that this nature resembled Gawain. A knight, a defender of people and she will use this power to protect them anyway she could.

She looked back at both Genji and Gabishi Senpai, Gabishi and his stunned face, gave her a thumbs up as he told her that she did a good job. She quickly gave him a thumbs back as well with one hand on her hip and a large smile on her face. "But of course!" She said with confidence and excitment. Genji looked at them both, smiling and nodding his head. "Nice job guys, let's keep this going," He said toward them as he started to walk toward the stairs to the second floor. Mio followed between the two of them as they headed toward the steps. As she placed her foot on the first, the sting returned as before, the feeling of something lurking around hit her chest and she pressed her hands against it. Not saying anything, because they probably can feel the same thing she looked slightly upward the stairs wondering what are they going to find in the next floor and will it be stronger? Will the strength to defeat it?
